    And possibly try the wingers on their right side instead of having to cut back, get to the byline more and knock it in hard and low. Although I’ve noticed JC trying to get there more the last couple of games, may be it’s been mentioned on the training ground.

    I'd have been happy with a point before kick off, however playing that long against 10 men it is 2 points dropped. The striker situation needs sorting asap but with a run of games Rusyn will click I think. Can't help but look back either at when we went down to 10 men at home we got absolutely battered, yet we couldn't beat 10 men.

    You're no better yourself tbh.

    Can you take your grudge off here and let us talk about football please. Have a word with Chunks or a thread ban.

    You're not helping, just waving your cock.

    So we don’t have our own mods? I know it wouldn’t be Chunk I’d get rid of.

    Prehab and Chunk are both welcome on here mate, they should just ignore each other and concentrate on the rest of our mundane drivel. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    I’ve got no dog in this fight mate. Don’t dislike either but don’t converse with either. Irrelevant. Just think he should reply without getting personal and abusive.

    No problem mate it’s just hard when you just read negative s hite week in week out, who never listen to a reply unless it’s from someone else who has wrote s hite. I have nothing against criticism but garbage gets on most people’s wick.

    Doesn't mean it's irrelevant though. As I was implying I have seen us play many times before and seen the same unjustified criticisms of the same players repeated after the game.

    It's not like watching it live means you're automatically right, christ just listen to the crap people sitting around you say.

    On ignore after multiple replies last night. Some definitely crossed the line so ignore the best option.

    I definitely agree it’s not just O’nien. Jobe and Ekwah are both massive they need to be better on set pieces too. In fairness to Jobe he’s being played as the 10 and it’s rare that your attacking midfielder is great at defending set pieces especially against CB’s who’s careers are built on being good in the air - the CB’s are the ones who need to be the presence in the box and I just don’t think O’nien is big enough. He’s smaller than Clarke, or at a push the same size and that to me is just crackers when we’re expecting him to mark 6’4 defenders coming up for set pieces it’s impossible which is why he ends up holding so much.

    He does play good balls out from the back but we should have a bigger player in there who can do that. I’ve mentioned before if you look at the top of the PL all of those clubs have massive CB’s I think being physically strong and running all game is just as important as being technical now. We have bags of technical brilliance but lack the physicality
